a WRITE_1
of passage

passage: from περᾰ́ω  (peráō)

to go from one side to another

to pass through, over or traverse, cross, esp. over water

(intransitive) to penetrate or pierce (of a pointed weapon)

I am sleepless in

this city as

heart flutters in

rib cage,

mind spins in

head space,

spirit tugs to

break free.


I am drifting in

memories of

lips brushing

my skin,

chests touching just

briefly,

conversation

leading.


I am sleepless in

anticipation as

heart longs for

contact,

mind wishes to

be with,

spirit dreams of

your light.

Who are you to judge us

lacking

poor

primitive

and uncouth,


when it is we who were brave and creative, throwing open

wombs

homes

arms

and shores?


Who are you to find our choices

wanting

misguided

foolish

and naive,


when it is we who stole peace from violence against all

predictions

odds

bets

and hopes?


Who are you to mistake our purpose and intention for

avarice

brawn

self-gain

and war,


when it is we who show daily how you can overcome

terror

dread

loss and

history?

Your kisses

sear my skin


Your attentions

blister my mind


Your passion

scorches my soul.

DEATH BY AGREEMENT

some seem to have agreed a pact for passage.
tidings hard to fathom.

STRANGE WATERS

experimental forms and thoughts that seem to come from elsewhere

AS IT IS

here now: this is what we find, this is what we see, this is what finds us

TRACERY

second and third associations. words and shapes.

Where fairies dream (1024x683)_edited.jpg
Through Light Cover Image_edited.jpg

ANGRY RED SUN, PALE SHADOWED NIGHT

a second stab at a book-style tranche of writings. formed in the end not entirely how it was intended.

THROUGH LIGHT

first steps. written mostly past midnight through dawn. night muse visitations.

WHO AM I?

Strandloper, edge-dweller, being. Sometime poet.

This site began as insomnia. Soon there were enough words for a book (Through Light). A little later, another collection was almost a book (Angry Red Sun, Pale Shadowed Night). Then came snatches of someone's thoughts from somewhere (As It Is). Dark tidings have also been received (Death by Agreement).
Along the way there are words on a plane (Tracery).
